Horse Trotting in Sweden.

Mr. Gus Benedicls, one Of the director.
Of the General Swedish Trotting association,
who is now in this country looking for infor-
nation concerning American methods on the
turf, gives a graphic account of the "horse
world" in Sweden. The central Office of the
association is at Stockholm. The president is
Count Alfred Pipen, and the royal family
take great interest in the races, which usually
are held in winter on the ice. The circular
track Of one English mile is inclosed, and an
admission fec is charged. The crowds are
always large and enthusiastic, although
there is no public betting as there is in this
country--in fact, there is not n single active
bookmakor in all Sweden. Professional
trainers and drivers are scarce, and the
speed Of horses is not developed with skill

which start at one time, travel in opposite
directions. One goes to the right and the
other to the left, and the competitor which

the winner The spectators in this style Of
competition are first interested in the widen
ing of the gap, and after the half mile post
has been reached they grow excited over the
steady closing of the same. This method is n
great improvement in many respects over
the American method, as it keeps the spec
tatOrs in longer suspense, does away with all
chance Of collisions and prevents the horses
from getting excited and breaking. Then,
too, one driver cannot form anywhere near
q correct idea as TO the exact speed of his
competitor and is therefore compelled to
make his horse DO its best. 1t is more diff
cult, however TO follow a race Of this de
scription than one in which the horses travel
side by side and in the same direction The
prizes arc mainly for Swedish bred horses. -

wish to pronounce this assertion

have not dollars worth of interest In
any boat engaged in the oyster business,

fined to my brickyards and do not even
know any man as such in Baltimore city,
who is engaged in oyster dredging. or
who in anywise shares in the profits OF
the business, or boats, unless 1t be merely
as a speaking acquaintance. On the
other hand all my sympathies are with
the tongmen. think their rights have
been invaded by the dredgers; and think
continuation of dredging can only re-
suit in the final destruction OF the oyster
beds and the complete ruin of this indus,

to the Senate, shall do all in my power
for the protection of the tonger's interest.
and If their interest and the interest of the
oyster dredger at any time come in con
tact shall give the preference to the
former My vote shall always be given
to increase the oyster grounds allotted to
the separate use of the tongers, but never
to decrease them. And in this as in all
